Your scooter requires a minimal amount of care and maintenance. If you do not feel confident in your ability to
perform the maintenance listed below, you may schedule inspection and maintenance at your authorised Pride
Dealer. The following areas require periodic inspection and/or care and maintenance.
TYRE PRESSURE
!
If equipped with pneumatic tyres, always maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tyre.
WARNING! It is important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tyre be
maintained in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres.
Low pressure may result in loss of control and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to
maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tyres at all times may result in
tyre and/or wheel failure.
!
Regularly inspect your scooter’s tyres for signs of wear.
WHEEL REPLACEMENT
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres and you have a flat tyre, you can have the tube replaced. If your
scooter is equipped with a solid tyre insert, either the solid insert or the entire wheel must be replaced depending on
the model. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer for information regarding replacement wheels for your scooter.
WARNING! Wheels on your scooter should only be serviced/replaced by an authorised
Pride Dealer or qualified technician.
WARNING! Completely deflate pneumatic tyres before dismantling the rim or attempting
repair.
WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the centre lug nut, then remove the wheel.
If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Bumpers, tyres and trim can benefit from an occasional application of a rubber or vinyl conditioner.
WARNING! Do not use a rubber or vinyl conditioner on the scooter’s vinyl seat or tyre tread,
as this may cause them to become dangerously slippery.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
!
Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your scooter. Avoid
using products that may scratch the surface of your scooter.
!
If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on
your product before application.
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or
premature deterioration of upholstery and/or scooter finishes.
BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
!
Make certain that the terminal connections remain tight and uncorroded.
!
The batteries must sit flat in the battery wells.
!
The battery terminals should face towards the inside of the scooter.
